I’ve seen a few reviews that criticise Forbidden as being a defence of incest, but I don’t think it is, precisely. (And it’s set in the UK, which I think is important to mention, because the UK age of consent is 16, so they’re both of-age.) So first of all, I should tell you (just in case you haven’t actually read the book) that the focal point of this book is an incestuous relationship between two siblings a brother and sister aged 17 (18 towards the end) and 16, respectively.
“My weirdness over this book is probably not for the reason you think it is…”įorbidden left me with a lot of mixed feelings, not because I didn’t like the book (because I did), but because I wasn’t entirely comfortable with the way that it addressed certain issues – and, no, I’m not talking about the incest (at least, not for the most part).
